the skin on the cover is too pinky/greyish but i love the images

 

[Benn98]

Oh dear, looks like we have another Madonna in the making. This is no longer daring, it's quite redundant actually. Nothing to do with Rihanna, this magazine is stuck in a rut.

Rihanna does Nicki Minaj? IDK why she agreed to do this look.

 

[DutchHomme]

Getting a bit BORED seeing Rihanna on fashion magazines to be honest

 

[gossiping]

eugh looks like something out of nicki minaj starships music video...aka GROSS

 

[Nymphaea]

Yes, this screams Nicki Minaj, but I like it, feels like something new. And it's very summer!

I find this extremely boring, couldn´t help but roll my eyes big time... nowadays a closeup of a butt is nothing, it´s not edgy nor mold breaking. The web is full of butts, even hers!
It´s a shame that this is the cover cause imo the editorial looks very promising, I like the neon styling. I would have liked to see the first image as a fold out cover.

what on earth is this?? this is a big joke! April fools is over days ago! I can't. this is tacky and cheap. This is a huge mistake

Everything about the cover is so amateur. It also bothers me how she's not placed on the middle.

 

[Marc10]

It's very Lil Kim by LaChapelle actually. I love, it's hot.

 

[KateTheGreatest]

I'm really tired of Rihanna and this isn't her best editorial work.
So there really wont be any more model in this magazine, just musicians, I can give up I guess.

 

[Kikala]

mdaaah even not sexy

It's very Lil Kim by LaChapelle actually. I love, it's hot.

Exactly my first thought! I love the tackiness of the shot.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

She is a gorgeous girl, who photographs like a dream, and i get what they wanted with this. Its just at this point, i have seen her do this already, she is far too overexposed on magazines for me to have a reaction except to yawn!

How is this fashion?

 

[GlamVal]

Poor Rihanna.

somehow in the last three years, the fashion world became rihanna's. Between her unmissable instagram account, editorials with top photographers, ubiquity in the front row of paris, and history-making campaigns, the barbadian beauty went from number-one hitmaker to full-time style icon—or so it seemed. Now she's dropping her eighth album, and she's ready to reclaim her spot at the top. Don't act like you forgot: Rih calls the shots, shots, shots!

VERY 90s Lil' Kim indeed.

Me too, the last issue I bought was Kate Upton's flip cover. I wonder whether these pop tarts sell for them, they must I guess. I see Carlyne CDD styled this. Surprise, surprise! (not).

Well she has an album to promote so I'd say we're going to be seeing a lot of her.

Not my favorite cover of hers but I never tire of seeing her face. Similar to Lupita, she is just so photogenic. I appreciate that. Taking a good picture ain't easy.
